Chapter 328: Corrosion Vs. Acid.

Chapter 328: Corrosion Vs. Acid.

[Various Spell Buffs] [Stage Fever (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

H-Hey, I havent announced the start yet! Hey!

Purple and black liquid poured out from his two catalysts, falling onto the grassy ground, dissolving everything they touched. Seconds later, the liquid stopped forming and wrapped itself around their respective catalysts again as they began to hover above elder poison dude, Greisha.

The man himself then took out two daggers with a brown gemstone embedded in each, probably enchanted. By wielding them, the movements of the catalyst didnt escape me. During the rumble match, he nor his brother had cast a single spell, so they couldnt be mages. They probably could control their catalyst well enough, so those daggers probably acted as controllers.

However, whether they were or not wasnt important now, the fact his catalyst couldnt stop producing that ghastly liquid was. After a couple of seconds, and the silence of the crowd, a purple and black snake made from, probably, acid was created.

As the gemstones in his daggers began to glow, the acid snakes then connected themselves to them and wrapped the man in the acid liquid. I let out a disapproving groan as I saw steam be released, probably caused by the acidic reaction, which was confirmed to me as I saw Greisha moan and huff as if he was in agony.

I-I The announcer was equally flabbergasted as the Greisha was completely consumed by his acid snakes, only for them to hover around on his back. Is this suicide?! Is Greisha killing himself right now?! What a start to a match, people! I have seen grief cause people to do some wild things, but killing themselves in front of a crowd during a festival tournament? Certainly original!

ArrraERAAAAAAAAAAH!

And the man howled! I can even feel Greishas agony on my skin right now! Not to mention how that acidic liquid is melting the very ground with even droplets dripping down! What is the only Acid Killers brother about to do?! Ah, but dont worry gamblers! The bracelet hasn't been activated yet, and as long as it's inside the arena, the bracelet created by God Yeostar will never break!

Tsk, this is such a let the villain transform moment! Just att

Eaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaaak!

But, as if he could sense my intent, he cried out once again as the purple acid snake shot right at me, mouth wide open to bite. Its speed was pretty impressive, but the bloodthirst made it far too obvious. I [Gale Steps]ed to the side and delivered execution chop right at the thing, sending its decapitated head flying behind me.

By Yeostars beard!!! The announcer cried out for good reason.

Jeez!!! I squirmed around a bit as I saw the acid head totally melted through the ground and leaving a steam cloud as it did so. I couldnt see it properly, but from the amount released and how I could see an indentation, I bet it just made a hole in a matter of seconds.

That thing is deadly!

And fitting this attacks name, this hydras headless stump split apart and regenerated not one head, but two. Without warning, the thing immediately attacked me once again. I had to release some of my scale-dust into the air, creating a massive spark explosion to drive the things away to allow me to [Dragoon Jump] into the air.

Urgh, my glaive I grimaced at how I saw signs of damage on my glaives edge, caused when I cut the acid snake. Without a doubt, if it could harm my glaive, which was made with my scales, it could harm me if it gets a direct hit.

Then again, my glaive was made from my old scales and claws, before I began my shedding schedule. I felt tougher than when Grimnir made this weapon for me, but who knew? In any case, that was all I had to think things through before the hydra reared its three head and shot them at me.

Using [Wind Blast], I completely evaded the attack but now the snake heads were homing towards me. Nevertheless, my goal was still clear and it was to win this match, and to do so, I had to defeat Greisha and this abomination of his. Igniting both my tail and glaive on fire, I readied my attack and flew at him with my rocket boosters, only to face some resistance.

Using his daggers, the now normal Greisha began slashing forward, sending projectiles of acid at me. Far too slow to me, of course, as I had faced faster attacks. It was far too easy for me to slip through all of them before making it to him.

Spark Cres

I wanted to unleash my attacks, only for [Foresight] to warn me of Greisha suddenly exploding. Not willing to risk it for now, I [Dragoon Jump] in the air as the acid on his body bubbled up and exploded. I got out of it in time, but the hydra heads were already on me, forcing me back even further.

Guess there is no time for a proper introduction and entrance speech! My apologies dear lords and ladies! However, I can assure you that it is worth it all the same! Bask in the ferocious battle before us! The Acid Killer Greisha has stopped his screaming and wailing and is now fighting back, pushing and stopping our dark horse contestant from fighting back! The announcers voice was clear for me to hear as I flew around the snake heads. Oh, how I envy those with wings! Flying! Watch as the high-speed flying of this dragon girl is tested against the ravenous snakes. One bite, and it will be all over!

Dramatic. Anyways, you guys got anything? I asked my parallel minds for a clue as I concentrated on dodging.

Yup, we found his catalysts hiding behind his back, Manager Mind answered me as I was using [Mana Eyes] to properly analyze my situation. Considering what happened when I cut the snake head, I thought attacking blindly would be too stupid when I had the ability to appraise him.

His profile is worthless level 64, whatever. Also, nothing important in his equipment. Only his catalysts are important here, and it seems like the A rank they were made from is coming back for revenge! #2 informed me of everything, although she was being a bit too haughty about it, as always.

Mhmm, I got a plan and its execution. You want to hear it?

Hit me up! Oh jeez, thats cruel! Then again, hes here to kill me, right? The poison goes through the bracelet, so if I dont want this guy chasing me around to murder me, better start scaring him away.

Dash out! Flame explosion! The girl clothed as if she was going to a tea party and was maneuvering around this battlefield with extreme precision like a knife! Nothing grazed her! The fast snakes and Greishas acid projectiles couldnt touch her at all as even her scales began to defend her! Immaculate movements, outpacing the fas

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! With an ear-busting [Draconic Roar], strong enough to push the acid hydra back, I interrupted the announcer with my own bombastic announcement! My deepest condolences for the abrupt beginning to this match! How unclout, may I say so myself. And our poor, poor announcer has been trying his best for Hup!

I had to take up to the skies again as Greisha shot out a spray of acid at me, shooting it from an angle my voice didnt reach me.

Stop speaking! Fight me! The poison dude shouted at me, roaring loudly as his three-headed hydra continuously shot its beam attacks at me. At the same time, the fourth hydra head was slowly growing from his back.

Easier to rile him up than I thought. Damn, I really shouldnt be acting like this. Guy wants to kill me for killing his brother, I honestly shouldn't act this rude. I should be acting better, but this is getting the job done.

And just like that, with him angered, his attack became more and more aggressive. I was pushed onto the defensive, unable to do anything as he kept his overwhelming firepower and tracking hydra heads on me. It got even worse when his fourth hydra head grew, supporting the other heads until I was forced to land.

DIE! UuRAAAAAAAGH! Greisha cried out in agony as the hydra slammed the ground, bursting and releasing the acid into the environment. The green grassland was nowhere to be seen, completely replaced by a barren landscape steaming with a nauseating smell.

However, this place was about to turn even worse as the back from Greisha burst, releasing even more acid to the point it turned into a large wave. From the size alone, I could tell it would be able to submerge a platoon of soldiers without any problems. While the arena was a grassland, it still had walls around us to probably restrict our movements.

In this case, I had nowhere left to run now.

Perish!

Oh oh

And with a loud slam, the tidal wave of acid crashed right onto me, pounding me right onto the ground.

[Poisoned (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

A-And thats it, blood enjoyers! O-Our dark horse was just consumed by the wave of acid! Oooh, as much blood as I have seen, being melted down by a pool of acid isnt exactly what I would call pleasant. However, in this arena, you better get ready to face everything cuz on a battlefield anything can happen!

Ahhh, the announcer is so dramatic

Noooo, what the Argh, my money! Come on!

T-The seas sink you, bastard! You show our face in Loatryx or Caedhul, and you will get your face slashed off!

Ha! See, I told ya that lizard girl just rode on the capes of Auegors Blade! A fluke!

Such a mixed reception

Rest easy, brother.

But, as you would expect, nothing else happened after this. For one good reason

Well, uhm, I apologize everybody, but the match for some reason hadnt stopped yet. The arena setting automatically ends the moment a winner is chosen, but it seems it hasnt ended yet. The announcer explained the function of the arena, causing the crowd to rile up in confusion.

Huh? Is the arena defective?

Oi, you idiot, this thing was made by God Yeostar. Are you calling a divine creation faulty?

Yeah, what kinda heresy crap are you sprouting? But what exactly is happening?

On the other hand, my opponent seemed to have figured the reason out. Wait?!

I was alive and barely unharmed.

Show time.

With a massive explosion, white flames burst out from where I was slammed by the tidal wave, soaring into the sky before it fell back down. Like a wildfire, my white flames caught onto any drop of acid, burning it and spreading throughout the area, cleansing it from the ground melting liquid.

H-How?!

Due to her meeting with Amelia, Princess Anasthasia had already suggested to me to promote my concert on this day after my victory. In other words, Count Bertlez came a bit too late to want my favor. With the support and agreement of her brother, the princess could assure some support for her brother, strengthening his position, while also helping out the poor of Elyonda.

The nobles still had to pay normally, but they werent stingy with money since they had to live up to their noble pride. If they couldnt pay, well, let us just say they could make some favors with the royal family.

Even if I didnt like Yeos, making allies wouldnt hurt, right? Especially to dissuade them from attacking Artorias in the future with Amelia and Duke Greenveil knowing the Caimlace royal family now.

God Yeostar? Was he one of them? As I walked out of the arena, I asked Yeostar about Greisha.

Alright, thank you.

With todays announcement, everybody was now aware of who I was.

Come at me, you bastards! No matter if you send a demonkin at am or not, I will burn all your efforts to cinder. Send an army, and I will show you what the rage of an dragon idol could bring!

A note from AbyssRaven

Yes, use poison versus a venomous dragon. It worked well for your brother, yeah? Then again, he probably didn't know, so yeah.

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
